“maybe one day we’ll all be self righteous about Jews or some Protestant Demonination that some public official belongs to.”
Unfortunately, they won’t be held to the same standards.
Devout Catholics will have to do a penance of listening to the non-Catholics and ex-Catholics shaking their fingers at them and agitating the issue ~ acting all self-righteous and superior about their claims to being more pro-life than others and taking broadsides at decent practicing, pro-life Catholic Christians.
That’s kind of childish, and as I had predicted in my original post.
Well God did tell you in the Bible that we would be treated this way. :) I try to keep that in mind when the holier than thou’s try to do this each and everytime Catholism is mentioned. They are bigots plain and simple.
I think what bothers me, or maybe rather disheartens me so much, is that we all have so much in common. Maybe not all, as I studied Islam from a historical and political (as well as religious aspect) and I still can’t find common ground there.
True. Devout Catholics/Christians (because I know some don’t consider Catholics Christians) and other devout Christians (and not those self righteous whack jobs) have to remain clear headed. It’s difficult sometimes. And I’m not the poster child for Catholicism or any form of Christianity. I hate to see such petty (imo) divisions within a conservative and Christian community. There’s a much bigger fight, imo. Disagreements, preferable civil disagreements, fine, but outright hatred and misinformation just confounds me.
Oh well, I’m listening to some great music and just opened a cold beer. Looking forward to college football season (WE ARE PENN STATE) and of course college volleyball season as the oldest (eldest for those stuck on archaic usage) is now playing college ball and survived a week of pure hell/pain getting ready for the season. And of course high school volleyball season and Catholic k-8 volleyball season and Rec Soccer season...ok, not really but I’m sucking it up ;)
